Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)
1/3 cup raw honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Arrange the chicken breasts on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Brush half of the glaze generously over the tops of the chicken.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the glaze is caramelized.
Notes
Stone-ground mustard can be used as a coarse substitute for Dijon. If you prefer, fresh minced garlic can be used instead of garlic powder. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
